Studying several popular plant products, a team of American scientists under the supervision of Bin Ye and Daniel Cramer made a sensational discovery… As it turned out, in the group of women taking gingko (Gingko biloba) preparation for 6 months the risk of the development of ovarian carcinoma decreased as much as by 60%!!!
The laboratory studies demonstrated that the components of gingko with antineoplastic effect mainly are diterpenoids - gingkolides A and B. It is gingkolides that blocked the pathological cellular cycle of mutated neoplastic cells.
The members of the team hope that the confirmation of the obtained result in advanced research programs will allow for the introduction of new-generation antineoplastic drugs based on active components of Gingko biloba extracts.
